2025 marked 25 years of DJing for me. I’ve had the privilege of spinning alongside dozens of incredible DJs at dozens of events and venues all over Pittsburgh in that time. When DJ Erica Scary joined the ranks of local dark alt DJs, I was thrilled and thoroughly impressed.

She has demonstrated the level of skill, professionalism and personality that makes for a truly outstanding DJ and promoter. But her kindness, authenticity and support makes her a truly outstanding person and friend.

I’ve enjoyed DJing with her at multiple events over the years and honored to DJ with her and The Comeback Kid to celebrate her birthday tonight at ☾ KiLLiNG MOON ☾ 8os Darkwave Birthday Dance Party @ ♽ MiXTAPE ♽ 8/29/25! Hope to see many of you there! 🖤🎂🎧💀🪩🎉💜

HI FRENZ! Just a few things for anyone who may be interested.

So I cancelled Hypnotic this Saturday at Poetry Lounge due to a schedule conflict and replaced it with something super awesome - Alternate Ending with DJ TFS! Come enjoy an eclectic mix of 80s/90s alt rock, pop and new wave music meticulously selected by my pal DJ TFS. I'll be back at Poetry for the March installment of Hypnotic on 3/9.

BUT you can catch me DJing sooner than that at the incredibly cool Twin Peaks Day on Sat 2/24 at Grim Wizard Coffee in Allentown! I'll be in "character" and dishing out the quirky tunes of the Double R Diner! If you're a fan of Twin Peaks or just appreciate it's weirdness DO NOT miss this event!
